I've been working in construction for the past 11 years at this point with a few years before that in a part time role. I'm more than happy to lend whatever knowledge or insights I may have about work, life, or whatever.

I will be checking in sporadically to see if there are questions.

EDITED WELL AFTER QUESTIONS STOPPED: I'm still active-ish on Lemmy, so if you happen to find this and have a question, I will likely still get back to you.

Some of those compound miters still throw my head through a loop. The one that really gets me way too often is connecting quarter round on the runner of longer staircases. Somehow dealing with something that's around a 45 degree angle instead of flat just throws me off way too much. I need to practice more.

The hardest one was an 11:12 so it's much harder to visualize which side to cut compared to a shallower pitch. My saw can do up to 50 degrees and I made some cuts at 42.5 and some at 47.5. LOTS of pencil marks haha
